In this context I would love to share with you a talk from #FOSDEM, which I really enjoyed!

"Lessons Learned from Open Sourcing the UK's Covid Contact Tracing App" by @Edent ftp.fau.de/fosdem/2025/janson/

I will not post a summary here. If you are interested, just watch it! Congratulations, Terence on what you have achieved with this project. Not only in terms of the project itself, but in terms of FOSS education and perception. Truly impressive!

Today we celebrate the #ilovefreesoftwareday!

I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who contributes to #FOSS projects and thereby increases various levels of freedom, including the #digitalsovereignty.

Since I have many product leaders in my bubble, I would like to encourage you to reflect on these two questions:
- How can you support the FOSS projects you use?
- Does your next product need to be closed sourced or can you release it as a FOSS?

Today is "I Love Free Software Day".

A massive, heartfelt thank you to each of you who spends time writing, maintaining, documenting, or supporting Free software.

I am genuinely amazed by just how much one can do with Free software:

In two weeks from today @kde @kde_community will #release the mega #update #plasma6! 🥳

Having the chance to really be a part of the own daily private and professional workspace is an unbelivable present and only possible with #freesoftware projects and such a great #community! 🎁

On todays #ilovefreesoftwareday I want to say thanks to everyone working on and with the great #kde #project and any other #opensource things! 💙

There are many ways for contributing - with or without spending #code! 🤝

Today is the #ILoveFreeSoftwareDay ! I would like to thank the free softwares I use and that I found on the Fediverse.

The main #FreeSoftware I use is my OS. Thanks to #Manjaro and to @archlinux on which Manjaro is based. And to the @linuxfoundation , @gnome and the #Linux ecosystem.

Thanks @mozilla especially for #Firefox and @thunderbird !

Thanks @zaclys which give me access to @nextcloud , which I thank too.

Thanks also (without order) @keepassxc , @lutris , @Mastodon , @voyagerapp , @Tusky , @fdroidorg , @libreoffice , @GIMP , @lagrange , @termux , @element , @matrix , and others I forgot.

All these projects are wonderful projects maintained by wonderful people. Without you, my everyday life would be harder and less interesting. Love you ❤️!
